Cause And Effect

Filed Under Money, Politics, Socialism | Leave a Comment 

To borrow a phrase, this is “must see TV:”

What bothers me most is that many of these Democrats are members of the Congressional Black Caucus, and it appears they are defending the criminal activities of Franklin Raines because he is black. And defending the policies of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because they benefited poor Blacks.

I though such disgusting racism ended in the 1950’s. Racism is wrong no matter who does it.

At any rate, we have seen the labor of the Democrats come to fruition over the past several days. We know who is to blame, and we know who should be going to jail. What are we waiting for?

This AP story on last night’s debate claims Sarah Palin lost.

However, knowing the question helps you understand how the polls really operate.

Great work, Baloo.

What Is Congress Smoking?

Filed Under Government, Money, Socialism | 1 Comment 

From CNN:

Rep. Joe Knollenberg, R-Michigan, said he changed his vote to “yes” on Friday after calls to office changed after Monday’s rejection of the plan in the chamber.

“A lot of people change their minds (about the bill) after seeing heartbreak in the streets,” he said.

Heartbreak in the streets? What street, Wall Street? Last I heard our reps were getting calls at 99 to 1 against passage of this boondoggle. Sen Bob Bennet’s office reported 1000 to 1 against.

The American people are telling Congress, “We don’t need your help on this. We think we can handle it on our own.” Of course, Congress hears “blah blah blah help blah.”

Liberal Media Bias

Filed Under Media | Leave a Comment 

Instapundit got an email this week from a reader in a newsroom. The anonymous source explains the vast difference between the treatment of stories on Sarah Palin and stories about Barak Obama.

A READER AT A MAJOR NEWSROOM EMAILS: “Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in arizona. Not a single one looking into Acorn, Ayers or Freddiemae. Editor refuses to publish anything that would jeopardize election for O, and betting you dollars to donuts same is true at NYT, others. People cheer when CNN or NBC run another Palin-mocking but raising any reasonable inquiry into obama is derided or flat out ignored. The fix is in, and its working.” I asked permission to reprint without attribution and it was granted.

The Anchoress reports similar findings.

Is there anyone who still doubts the liberal bias in the media?

Barak Obama Is A Villain

Filed Under Campaigns, Elections | 2 Comments 

Glenn Beck interviewed David Freddoso, author of a new book called The Case Against Barak Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate. If you didn’t get a chance to hear it the first time, you can read the transcript here. Here’s an excerpt:

FREDDOSO: Barbara Boxer had stood up and said, “I support this bill, everyone should vote for this bill.” Obama voted against it and that puts him on the very fringes when it comes to issues of human life at its very beginning.

GLENN: So wait a minute. He is Barbara Boxer was on the other side of this issue?

FREDDOSO: Yes, that’s right. Hillary Clinton was also on the other side. The vote was 98 0 and the two guys who weren’t there to vote were pro life Republicans. So basically every abortion proponent in the United States Senate is more protective of human life in its early stages than Senator Obama.

I am now horrified at the thought of this evil man becoming President of this country. He is not just mistaken; he is not just misguided or wrongheaded. There is no other valid description of Barak Obama than evil. Yes, that sounds terribly partisan and maybe unfair. But go read the transcript and see of you don’t agree with me afterwards. No-one with any sense of right and wrong could make the conscious decisions Obama has made in his political career and be called “simply misguided.”

The man or woman who takes up the mantle of the President of the United States must be prepared to “preserve and defend the Constitution,” which includes in the preamble our national intent to “secure the blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity…”

In plain terms, the Founders recognized the Rights of the millions of the unborn that would follow after them; the Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Our President must defend this. He must not be of the opinion that we can leave our babies to die, unloved and alone on a cold, metal slab in a medical supply closet, with only a blanket for companionship in their few moments of life. The man who serves in our highest office must be a man of the highest feelings and nobility towards his fellow man. Not one who so indifferently disposes of our most helpless citizens as a “punishment” for a mistake, or relief from inconvenience.

Having lost a child within this past year, my soul is inflamed with passion against this great evil. I held my beautiful, precious daughter in my arms as her death approached, prepared to give everything I had if I could stop it. I am offended that anyone would consider me part of that same family of beings who, were they in that situation, would turn away and leave that little one to die without even a tear shed for her loss. Yet, so it is.

I am left wondering, saddened and angered, at how the human mind can become so twisted and perverse as this, the heart so bereft of that natural affection which should dwell there. The President must not be of this low quality. Beyond the beautiful speeches and lofty rhetoric, he must be greater than most of us in his mind, and the “servant of all” in his heart. Barak Obama is neither.

Palin’s Critics Have Nothing To Say

Filed Under Campaigns, Elections | 1 Comment 

MSN has a post up today, attempting to expose Sarah Palin’s use of–gasp–a private email account while governor! Oh, the horror!

These idiots have so much of nothing to say; it’s obvious they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel now. What next, she has a fine at the local library? She once jay-walked on her way home from the mayor’s office?

Mrs. Palin’s critics are desperate for anything at all that will make her look less-than-worthy in the eyes of the people. But if this is the best they can come up with, Sarah has nothing to fear.

There are several things that should stand out to you about this story:

  • It alleges she used the private account to avoid transparency laws–a difficult sell when you’re talking about a proven reformer with an 89% job approval rating.
  • The “evidence” that she broke transparency laws was obtained through blatantly illegal means, i.e. they hacked a private website–a federal crime–to obtain the evidence. They may also be guilty of identity theft.
  • It proudly details the hack.
  • It glaringly omits any reference to the egregious violation of privacy laws, usually a sacred cow for the liberals.
  • It is now evidence of wrongdoing on the part of the hackers, and discredits the organization, Wikileaks, which posted it (I won’t give them a link, for personal reasons).
  • The link to the “evidence” is no longer working–apparently an attempt to appear concerned about the breach of law, and to forestall the lawsuit which Mrs. Palin could rightly file. But after the FBI and the Secret Service have had their way with them, there may not be much left.

The most damning quote from Mrs. Palin they can find is a response to Lt. Governor Sean Parnell’s account of a radio talk-show interview. Mrs. Palin replies, “Arghhh! He is so inconsistent and purposefully misleading.” Yes, I know. I can hardly contain myself.

Maybe someone should write a book called “Political Espionage for Idiots.” At least the AP version of the story points out that the messages were “inconsequential,” though it does admit complicity in breaking the law.

Presidential Plagiarists

Filed Under Campaigns, Elections | Leave a Comment 

Barak Obama, in his famous “lipstick” remarks, demonstrated that he is not speaking his own words, but is borrowing heavily from others.

Glenn Beck, in his newsletter, pointed out how Keith Olberman seems to be advising Obama.

On Monday Sept. 8, Keith Olberman said this to Barak Obama:

“At your convention, maybe the most compelling speech in Denver was that one strongly voiced word, “Enough.” A lot of people who have felt angry about what’s been done to this country in the last seven or eight years have that same sense of urgency and simplicity to it. Have you thought of using on the campaign trail and in your speaking engagements more exclamation points? Have you thought of getting angrier?”

And during the lipstick speech, Obama said this:

“Because then we go another year or another four years or another eight years without addressing the issues that matter to you. Enough!”

Then, the good folks at Sweet and Light posted this cartoon by Tom Toles, originally published on Sept. 5:

And these are Barak Obama’s words, from the lipstick speech, just a couple of days ago:

The similarities are striking. The most disconcerting thing is that the two men Barak is borrowing from are completely opposed to what Conservatives would call the American Idea. Barak is parroting the ideas and thoughts of people grossly out of touch with Mainstream America.

Obama’s running mate, Joe Biden, has had his own problems with borrowing ideas. I guess birds of a feather do flock together. Obama seems to have picked someone who is a reflection of himself. That speaks volumes about Obama.

What’s worse is that Barak Obama, as a college professor, would have given the standard “don’t plagiarize” speech to his students at the beginning of every semester, or should have. How can anyone regard him with any respect now, especially those who’ve ever been in one of his classes?

Obama has been criticized for obscuring his true self. It’s now beyond question; his critics are onto something. Barak is either not capable of speaking his own mind, because there is nothing there to give, or he is hiding what is there out of fear of the reaction of the people. Either way, we are not getting the real Barak Obama; we are getting the opinions of hardcore leftists. Either way, his presidency would be catastrophic for America.
